It is the Season of Giving Thanks

This is the season of giving thanks.  The harvest has begun.  Give thanks to your tongue, this organ of the body allows you to speak and create from the power of language, song and conversation.

       ~Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.   - Proverbs 16:24

Likewise give thanks to your taste buds for the joys of flavor this holiday season; sweet, sour, bitter, pungent and astringent.   I’ve even heard of a newly discovered taste bud called umami which satisfies our love of broth and gravy. 

This season of health and wellness keep in mind “You are what you eat and what we speak.”  Let your food and your words be the medicine.

The true creation lives on the tongue.  Whether outward with spoken words or inward toward the taste and texture of food.  Examine your tongue and you will begin to understand what you are creating.

As this new paradigm falls upon you embrace the paradox of life.  Multiple realities, multiple points of view!  This is the season of diversity.  

A time to listen with an “and” rather than a “but” in conversation toward self and others.  Cultivate and harvest the ability to hold more pieces to the puzzle of life and allow for others points of view.   

Lastly, let's give thanks to nature as she dictates evolution through natural law.  A pandemic looming, climate change, the patriarch collapsing, currency redefined.  It’s not hard to see the crumbling of a worldview inside and out. Allow for the discomfort to stretch and shape new ways of thinking and being.  Be patient as the wings of transformation grow.
